About this site

The definitive independent guide to Naadam, by the team at Discover Mongolia Travel.

naadamfestival.com is operated by Discover Mongolia Travel, a licensed Mongolian tour operator based in Ulaanbaatar. We built this site because the world's most spectacular nomadic festival deserved better than out-of-date pages and guesswork — and because our guests kept asking the same questions every July.

Everything here — dates, the program, ticket realities, the countryside calendar — is updated each season from official announcements and our own team on the ground. Where something is unconfirmed, we say so.

We are not the festival's official ticket office and we do not resell scalped tickets. We offer our own festival tours with allocated seats, and we point everyone else to the official channels and the free ways to experience Naadam.

Naadam is UNESCO-inscribed living heritage. We follow its ethical principles: named attribution for photographers, consent for portraits, and presenting the festival as the living, contemporary celebration it is.
